On hand for the snout-kissing- cherry-diving ceremony were A.B. Sawyer '10 and Philip Carlson '70. While Brother Sawyer went about his tasks with dignity and nonchal ance, Brother Carlson seemed a little nonpulsed and embarrassed as he performed his part in the delicate operation. After the opening ceremony, the delicious roast beef dinner pre pared by Mrs. Lee was served. This Pig Dinner was made most memorable by the presence of our guest speaker, Dean of Students Fred H. Turner. His speech at our Pig Dinner came at the con clusion of Dean Turner Week on STEPHEN WRIGHT, Chicago bonds of Phi No. 4 Delta. campus.

It now appears necessary to treat Summer rush as an impor tant means of completing our Fall pledge class. This Summer's program is progressing well, but there are obvious points which can be improved to make it even in April. At this time, only 60 per cent of all applying students had been accepted into the University. Many of these men were still not certain they would attend this school in the Fall. Consequently, portant drawback is effective com munications. Fraternity members must keep in touch with one ano with no more than 650 men com ther and remember that if Sum ing down for one formal rush week end, our anticipated pledge class dropped from about 25 to 15 men. Spring rush, of course, has its good points. Since only students more successful in the future. Aside from such factors as money and mer administration, rush Summer is to the most im be vacation successful, cannot be thought of as a vacation from j Fraternity life, obligations and re sponsibilities.
